Definitions

  • the present invention concerns indicia means, in particular the use of UV barrier films such as polymeric films which are substantially transparent to visible light but which have UV barrier or blocking properties in a novel application concerning the presentation of information carried by a substrate covered by the films.
  • UV barrier films such as polymeric films which are substantially transparent to visible light but which have UV barrier or blocking properties in a novel application concerning the presentation of information carried by a substrate covered by the films.
  • WO-A-98/22291 discloses a security document in which an invisible indicia or encoded information is imprinted on a substrate using a compound which produces a fluorescence at a wavelength greater than about 650nm when exposed to near infrared radiation, the information being covered by a layer of material that reflects or absorbs a substantial amount of the visible and UV radiation illuminating its surface.
  • US Patent no. 4,927,180 discloses a method of marking an article or substrate with a mark or device which is made visible or is enhanced on exposure to UV light which comprises printing onto the article or substrate a photochromic ink, and applying a superficial protective layer to said mark or device which protects the photochromic compound against degradation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen.
  • the superficial protective layer may be a clear film according to this disclosure, but one which transmits UV light in order that the photochromic ink can be viewed through the protective layer when activated by a UV beam.
  • WO-A-90/06539 discloses a security mark having a photochromic compound covered by a controlled absorption layer comprising a saturable absorber. Light of a wavelength serving to convert the photochromic compound is at low intensity absorbed by the saturable absorber, and a photochromic compound converted by UV is said thus to be sunlight protected. At high intensities, the absorption of the saturable absorber drops to permit conversion of the photochromic compound under the influence of the high intensity UV.
  • GB-A-2243578 discloses a security label comprising a backing layer, a design layer and an upper removable layer.
  • the design layer When the upper layer is peeled back to expose the design layer, so as to expose the design layer to an actuating influence such as ultraviolet light, the design layer changes colour. This is said to indicate that the article to which the label has been applied is genuine.
  • the design layer may be a photochromic ink or other verifiable substance such as a UV reactive ink, fluorescent ink, magnetic ink, IR ink, transfer-type ink, optical variable device, hologram or rare earth mineral.
  • the removable layer may be peeled or scratched off.
  • US Patent no. 5,807,625 discloses a security document comprising a substrate having an ink pattern on a surface thereof, said ink comprising binder and particles of at least one photo dye stuff consisting of a solid solution or dispersion of photochromic compound and polymeric protecting composition, wherein said polymeric protecting composition is a light-transparent thermoplastic which is inert to the photochromic compound and which is further a barrier for oxygen.
  • US4157784 concerns safeguarding elements against forgery or falsification which can be mechanically examined using light of the visible, ultraviolet or infrared spectral regions against erasure.
  • the paper is provided with a homogeneous protective coating which is applied either prior to or following the application of an information print by an ink impression.
  • the paper, the protective coating and the printing ink have respective reflectance or fluorescent properties such that any damage to the protective coating, including attempted erasure, is detectable either at the wavelength of light serving to read the information print or at a special test wavelength.
  • UV responsive indicia means comprising a substrate bearing indicia at least partly provided by one or more UV-sensitive materials, the indicia-bearing substrate being protected from exposure to UV radiation by a removable wrapper or peelable covering comprising a transparent polymeric film which is relatively more transmissive with respect to visible light radiation than it is with respect to UV radiation, such that the indicia-bearing substrate is viewable through the removable wrapper or peelable covering and that a visible change in the indicia is effected upon removal of the wrapper or peeling away of the covering.
  • the substrate may comprise a security document such as a banknote, credit card, cheque, travellers cheque, passport, driving licence or other identity document. However, it may also comprise an article of commerce or the, or part of the, packaging therefor.
  • a security document such as a banknote, credit card, cheque, travellers cheque, passport, driving licence or other identity document.
  • it may also comprise an article of commerce or the, or part of the, packaging therefor.
  • the manufacturer of a cigarette packet or a CD or DVD just by way of example, may elect to use the carton, case or box as the indicia-bearing substrate, and the carton, case or box may then be overwrapped with the removable wrapper.
  • the removable wrapper is relatively more transmissive with respect to visible light radiation than it is with respect to UV radiation, the effect is that the contents of the removable wrapper can be viewed (for example by the prospective purchaser), but on removing the wrapper the said contents undergo a visible change in appearance as a result of the effect of UV radiation on the at least one indicia UV-sensitive material.
  • This feature may have security implications, for example to determine whether a product has been tampered with or previously opened, but it may also have an aesthetic or marketing appeal, for example to effect display of a logo or message to the consumer, or it may have a regulatory connotation in connection with the display of warning notices or concerning health, or anti-counterfeiting for example.
  • the indicia may be provided in the form of, for example, a logo, picture, brand name, security or identification feature, message, hologram, or any other type of visual information.
  • the UV sensitivity of the indicia may mean that the indicia is completely invisible when covered by the removable wrapper or peelable covering, and only becomes visible on exposure to UV light brought about by removing the wrapper or covering.
  • the indicia may be provided in a form which has a first appearance before exposure to UV light, and a second different appearance after exposure to UV light.
  • the indicia may undergo a colour change upon exposure to UV light.
  • the indicia may also be provided in a form which is part UV-sensitive and part insensitive.
  • an image formed from two components - a first UV-sensitive component and a second non UV-sensitive component may have a first appearance when covered by the removable wrapper or peelable covering, and may change appearance upon removal of the wrapper or peeling of the covering, and exposure of the UV-sensitive part of the indicia to UV light.
  • removable wrapper is preferably meant a film wrapper which is at some point in the commercial life of the indicia-bearing substrate intended to be removed, and is designed to be removed, for example by the provision of peelable or tearable seals, or by the provision of a tear tape or line of weakness as is well known in the packaging art.
  • peelable covering is preferably meant a film covering which is specifically intended to be removed from the indicia-bearing substrate at some point during its commercial life.
  • the film covering may form a peel seal with the substrate (in other words it may be sealed directly to the substrate, usually by means of a heat seal) or it may be provided with a peelable adhesive layer effective to adhere the film covering to the substrate.
  • the adhesive layer be substantially transparent at least to visible light.
  • the removable wrapper or peelable covering, once removed or peeled, may in some circumstances be replaced.
  • the indicia may undergo a further change, or revert back to its original appearance, or it may remain unchanged in its UV-sensitised form, depending on the nature of the UV-sensitive material(s).
  • the UV-sensitive material may be selected from, for example, photochromic materials, fluorescent materials and phosphorescent materials, or mixtures of two or more thereof.
  • UV-sensitive is preferably meant that the indicia indicated by the material(s) provides an image (which may or may not be invisible to the naked eye) which alters its appearance, or becomes visible, or becomes invisible, when exposed to UV radiation, in particular radiation of wavelength from about 190 to about 400nm.
  • the indicia undergoes no change of appearance on exposure to light in the visible region of the spectrum (eg, from about 400 to about 700nm) when unaccompanied by UV radiation.
  • Photochromic materials such as photochromic dyes and printing inks made therefrom, are well known in the art and may comprise for example spiro-indolino-naphthoxazines, fulgides and fulgimides and/or spiro(18a)-dihydroindolizines.
